The Mets (finally) decide to sell. The Yankees make an offer for right-handed starting pitcher Zack Wheeler. The Red Sox swoop in, top the offer, make a run to grab an AL Wild Card spot and have Wheeler on the mound vs. New York in the ALDS.

Plus, Wheeler to the Red Sox could help re-ignite last year’s champion into making a run. The easiest path to the World Series in the Bronx includes seeing something less than a Wheeler-led charge by a rebounding Boston club in early October.

Wheeler owns a 4.69 ERA, 130 strikeouts, 3.82 SO/BB ratio and 3.65 FIP through 19 starts this season for a fourth-place Mets team.
